NOTE: This recipe was created by our host’s nine year old daughter (a Brit) who we met on our 2007 trip through southern Spain.

For a more traditional mincemeat pie, use circles about six inches in diameter, place 1/4 C mincemeat in the center then fold up edges, leaving center open.  Brush edges with eggwash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.  Bake at 400º for 30 minutes.
